Well, today I hit the full-term mark, 37 weeks! I have a doctor's appointment on the 28th. Geez, I'll be 38 weeks!! This is crazy. It seemed like just a little bit ago I was staring down at the little piece of plastic with my mouth almost touching the bathroom floor. But still I'm excited. My back has sure taken a toll. Gah, and my knees too. That'll be one of the few things I won't miss about pregnancy. I can't wait until my little brother will be able to stomp out my vertebrae again, haha. And I usually run into the dilema on what to spend my birthday money on, but not ths year! I am going all out clothes shopping ! ! ! And maybe, if I can bat my eyes extra hard, I can get my dad to take me to take my drivers' test on my big day too. :D
Well this week I havent done much though. My little brother's birthday is next week on the 26th, so I'll post about that with lots of pictures. :)
Love to everyone(with a little extra set aside for Jonathan and Julie)

Jessika,
Yay! You're almost there! I'm totally with you on going all out clothes shopping after pregnancy! I did the same thing! :)
You and baby continue to be in our prayers!
Love,

Jessika, I know you haven't even posted yet about baby Jack's birth (I just saw picures on Jon and Julies blog), but I just wanted to say Thank You for giving Jon and Julie such a beautiful baby boy. You are a very brave and special young lady. I pray God blesses you in tremendous ways for your most precious gift. Mindy Howell
Jessika, I cannot imagine all of the emotions you are feeling right now!! I am praying that Jesus will wrap His loving arms around you in the days to come. You have given such an awesome gift to two of the most wonderful people I know. You have allowed God to use you to bless Jonny and Julie. I know that God will richly bless you as well. I would love to hug you if only my arms would reach!! :)

Hi Jessika...
Thank you for the gift you've given to Jonathan and Julie. It's a hard decision you made, and a brave and courageous one. I'm praying that God will continue to keep your heart in peace and hold you close to HIS own heart!

Hey, Jessika,
This is Julie's cousin, Karen. I have been thinking and praying for you a lot in these last few days. I cannot even begin to imagine what you must be feeling. There are not even words to describe what a beautiful and selfless thing you have done. It it obvious that you love Jack so much and I pray that in times when you are missing him that Jesus will cover you with His peace that passes all understanding. I think the relationship that you have developed with Julie and Jonathan is amazing. I have never seen anything like it. It is obvious that you all love each other and of course you all share a common love for Jack.
Your heart is so beautiful...and I think everyone who has followed this story has fallen in love with you because of how selfless and giving you have been towards Julie and Jonathan. Not only in giving up Jack, but even in the sweet little ways you included them....by letting them hear his heartbeat and having the doctor wait to strip your membranes until they could be there. We love Julie and Jonathan so much and through them have fallen in love with you.
Thank you for allowing God to work through you to bless Julie and Jonathan and through them, our whole family.
We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Karen
Jessica, I do not have words for how wonderful what you are doing with Jonathan and Julie is. I just cry and pray, cry and pray with a smile thrown in here and there. I am so very happy for them because they are both wonderful people and will be wonderful, loving parents to Jack. I am so happy for Jack because he will have Julie and Jonathan and also have you. You see, I am an adoptive mom to my precious Jimmy. But unfortunately we don't know anything about his birth parents. Though I regularly remind Jimmy that he is loved more than any boy can be loved and that his birth mom must have known God meant him for our family and so she left him there at the hospital for us to find him, I know in his heart he wants to know more. What you, Jonathan, Julie and Jack have seems so perfect - he will know them and love them, he will know you and love you, you will all love him! What more can there be?!!! I know things will be hard for you more than anyone, but please know that you could not have placed your son in a better situation. I know you have experienced yourself the "Jonathan and Julie Tag Team of Love and Laughter" I just want to assure you that it is the "real deal" - never seen anything else from the pair of them. They are so blessed to have you and Jack in their lives now - I can only expect that the love and laughter factor will increase exponentially. Lots of love to you, Jessika.
